Star Trek has been utopian space communism from the very beginning.
Science fiction has always been a vehicle for exploring woke ideas. Separating an issue from its current context allows the audience to set aside their biases and look with fresh eyes.
Calling it "woke" like the right does is pejorative.
Woke started out being used in a positive manner by people of color to describe social awareness, then conservatives decided to use it as a mockery of those who dare to ask for a more caring and supportive society. The right didn't come up with that term.
Are you sure? Then disregard what I said. I've only ever seen it used as an insult tbh.
Absolutely. Woke was a term exactly as @EatALime@kbin.social defined it, social awareness, but it quickly became “stuff I don’t like or agree with” for conservatives.
no it isn't. it means being aware of systemic oppression. don't let those asshats get away with redefining it.
They don't get to fucking own the word "woke"
